Yes, you are right. The first British person to have had one of the chips implanted is Kevin Warwick, a professor of cybernetics, who had his inserted on On August 24, 1998.

I don't want to sound callous or unsympathetic, because the discussion here is certainly focused on a very serious topic. After all, receiving or not receiving the mark is a life and death matter...of eternal consequences. But I must ask the question, is the Bible the foundation of your thinking or not? Because you folk are so busy looking at technology and the things of the world to answer your spiritual questions you are ignoring the fact that regarding any spiritual topic, and that includes eschatology, the Bible interprets itself. 

Yes, clearly there will be financial restraints placed on those who refuse to receive the mark, even ultimately the death sentence...but the financial restraints, nor the death penalty, is the mark itself. The beast to which the mark belongs is a global religious empire.  The mark therefore is that this empire imposes on the world is of a spiritual/religious nature. How do we know this? Because the recipients of the mark are set by the prophecy itself as being in direct contradistinction to God's people who "keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus". Revel. 14:12. Remember, we are speaking of an antichrist spirit here...thus the transgression being commited by the bearers of the mark is contrary to, or in place of, the commandments of God. It also reflects that ones faith is no longer in the Creator God, (Revel 14:6,7) but in a counterfeit who claims this spiritual mark as a token of its own authority above that of the true God, but unlike the true God, has to use deception, coercion, force, and threats to implement it. Typical ages old Satanic principles at play here. But please guys, get back to using the Bible as your source to understanding prophecy. Stop prognosticating on matters that the Bible doesn't reveal, such as a literal barcode or chip that brings down the wrath of God unprecedented in human history. Come on, think about it. God doesnt care if you use technology to manage your finances. But He does care when you keep mans commandments when they directly contradict His own.

Revelation 13:15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.

Hi everyone.

I know when the time comes the mark will be required, whatever it is. But honestly, it's not the mark that condemns anyone, it's just an identifier. The heart and mind that made the choice to take the mark has rejected the Lord and then takes the mark to prove loyalty to the beast.

I know there will be objections to that but it remains securely biblical. In addition it seems each person may make their own mark to be worn on the head or the forearm. A chip implanted or a tattoo applied through official channels would be ponderous, people flowing as fast as a glacier, among other objections to an officially applied mark.

The mark is an outward show of allegiance. The people will gladly take the mark as they have been in awe of the beast and the dragon for some time before the mark is required attire. At least at this point it looks to me like the beast and the dragon are on the scene deceiving the world for 3.5 years before the beast assumes control of the earth, then the mark is mandatory, but only if you want to eat, or work, or shower, or live in a house.

I agree with this and would like to add that the mark is a part of the image of the beast and is used to expedite its implementation.  It's the image that people must worship or forfeit their lives.  The mark is just a means of hastening that decision.  People will be forced to make a life or death decision quickly under very deceiving circumstances.  The mark and the image are always mentioned together.

Or . . . they have been deceived and are confused about it.  The judgments of the plagues should dispel any illusions of the false prophet being God.  The question for the deceived is, repent or double down on their idolatry?

Yes. They have the chance to repent until the very end. God will plead with them, as it is written.
